Congratulations Graduate

I attended a college graduation picnic Saturday for my cousin's son. I used the clean & simple FTL 107 sketch when making this card.

The school colors are red and black so I went with the Real Red for the card base. I used another piece of Real Red, stamped the cap from the retired stamp set Tassel Time with Jet Black Stazon Ink and embossed it with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. To the top and bottom of this embossed piece, I attached Basic Black one inch circles punched with the 1" Circle Medium Circle Punch and then adhered it to the card front. I punched out the owl "graduate" with the Two-Step Owl Extra-Large Punch using Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White and Bashful Blue. The "R" from the retired All-Around Alphabet Upper stamp set was stamped on the front of his shirt with VersaMark and heat embossed with White Stampin'Emboss Powder and the Heat Tool. After assembling the owl, I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop him up on a piece of Whisper White on which I had stamped happy graduation from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. With Jet Black StazOn I again stamped the cap onto Real Red, cut it out with Paper Snips, added a Whisper White brad from the NeutralsBrads, and attached it with dimensionals to complete my graduate. This was attached to the red embossed strip. I really was pleased with the end result and I hope the graduate enjoys the card. Have an enjoyable and restful Sunday.
